               FAIR NEGOTIATIONS FOR UNITED AUTO WORKERS

  (Ms. HOYLE of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOYLE of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, when the U.S. auto manufacturers 
were suffering during the recession, the UAW workers took pay cuts, 
were willing to forgo pay raises for the greater good of U.S. 
manufacturing, believing that U.S. auto manufacturers would repay their 
sacrifice once they were earning good profits.
  That didn't happen. Today, I rise in support of the United Auto 
Workers, and I urge the Big Three auto manufacturers to treat their 
employees fairly in these negotiations and share the wealth that is 
earned from their labor.
  The UAW is leading the charge to make green jobs good union jobs. The 
UAW organized the first battery plant in this country in Ohio. They are 
willing to move forward and work with manufacturers to get the job 
done. We need those jobs.
